TESTIMONIALS
Mike has worked with me and my family on and off for a while now. He suggested EMDR and I was game to try anything to get my sense of balance back! One session is all it took for my childhood traumas to be eradicated. I have never in my life felt so confident and capable. I truly would recommend EMDR to anyone!

First of all the explanation of the Tx made me feel more comfortable. I was dreading the thought of having to talk about my whole mental health history. I have done that so many times before. After the session of EMDR I felt lighter and no longer did my past seem to control me. Thank you. I did not know I could feel like this again.

Driving home I was thinking about the session, trying to anyways, the only thing I can say is yes, the memories are there, but I've dealt with them finally and I don't feel that pain. I feel overwhelming love. They have been filed in the Resolved Case Files all because of EMDR ! I feel Strong ! I highly recommend EMDR.

Words cannot explain the experience I just had. I feel as if a lifetime of Counseling and Therapy was done in an hour. I have been in therapy and seen doctors since I was young and have never had such a feeling of relief. I want to thank you again for the relief given me and the weight that has been lifted off of my shoulders.

I was struggling with a memory from my childhood that seemed to affect my daily life for many years. It was a heavy weight of fear and anger that I carried subconsciously.
After one session of EMDR with Mike I walked out with a greater understanding of the event that had effected me my entire life. As I went through the process I began to remember other suppressed memories that I was able to process as well.
I walked out of that session able to breath and being freed of my fears and inhibitions that I had carried because of the trauma I had experienced.
This a follow-up to my earlier email regarding my EMDR session with Mike.
I have been tracking my sleep patterns with a Fitbit charge 4 for several months.
Prior to my session with Mike, I was averaging are between a 70 to 75 weekly. My average REM CYCLES were around 10-15% a night.
Since my EMDR session, I am now averaging a weekly sleep score between 76 to 85. I am hitting REM CYCLE on average of 15-18% of the night.
Your light sleep and REM cycles make up 25% of your overall sleep scores.
Needless to say since my EMDR session my sleep cycles have tremendously gotten better. I do not wake from nightmares and feel more rested than ever before.

I was totally anxious about getting this treatment. I had to fight urge to cancel. So glad I followed through. First of all the explanation of the treatment made me feel more comfortable. I was dreading the thought of having to talk about my whole mental health history. I have done that so many times before.
Really felt strange to mentally go over the past and not be able to feel and then you (Mike) hit the right issue and I felt it like it was happening.
Afterwards I felt relaxed, tired and just weird. I did what I do every day later yesterday and read Facebook. One of the sites involved people I worked with for 28 years. Every time I go there I feel down, angry, sad and embarrassed. Yesterday I read it and didn't feel anything. Like reading a book. I have no idea how you are different after this tx. I can say so far I feel calmer.

I have been working on my personal growth and healing as my number 1 importance for over 6 years now. It started with CBT then branched out to meditation and other holistic healing modalities. While I seen progress and growth I still had remnants of the trauma to where certain things would still trigger me. Nightmares were still present. I ended my 13 year marriage this year and my triggers escalated, my nightmares overwhelmed my sleep. Mike has worked with me and my family on and off for a while now he suggested EMDR and I was game to try anything to get my sense of balance back! One session is all it took for my childhood traumas to be eradicated. I put myself in the trauma and then just let the EMDR do the work. It has been several weeks now I haven't had a single nightmare and when I have to be faced with something that used to be triggering now my mind goes to "Wow you are such a strong and amazing woman You survived that as a child there's nothing you can't handle as an adult" I feel confident and strong and capable in situations that used to leave me feeling scared and disgusting and defenseless. I have never in my life felt so confident and capable. I truly would recommend EMDR to anyone!

Thank you for introducing me to EMDR. When you had first mentioned EMDR, I was a little skeptical about it. During the session, I thought about a moment that was a trauma trigger for me, and it made me very uncomfortable. As I continued through the process, I felt my emotions calm down, and the memory wasn’t emotional for me anymore. Even after the session was finished, I was still skeptical about EMDR. For the next week, I randomly thought about the memory that had once been a trauma trigger for me, and I felt nothing. It was wild that something that once was a trauma trigger had become just a simple fact. I highly recommend this for anyone that has unresolved trauma.
